How To Go To Jeju Island

It’s a budget flight like AirAsia. As of 2016, the talented actor Kim Soo Hyun is their ambassador! If you want to enjoy spring in Jeju Island, it is better for you to book the flight around middle of March. If you book early and able to get their saver rate, sometimes a return ticket can be less than 50,000 won from Seoul to Jeju!

The journey is around 5 hours 40 minutes. Seoul dwellers can head to the Express Bus Terminal (line 3, 7, 9) to start their journey to Wando-gun (W33,000).More info on Wando.

4-Seoul to Busan bus

There are 2 types, Express buses and Inter-city buses which often have separate terminals. Express buses can be either first class (udung) or second class (chikhaeng). Express buses are non-stop except for rest stops of 10 minutes every 2 hours. Inter-city buses stop to pick up passengers.

The Seoul Express Bus Terminal (02-782-5551/2) is on Seoul City Subway Line 3, south of the Han River. It has buses departing to Jeonju, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Ulsan, Incheon and Gwangju.

Dong-Seoul bus terminal (02-458-4852/4) on Seoul City Subway Line 2, near Kangbyon station, has buses to Jeonju, Incheon, Gwangju, Busan, Daegu and Daejeon.

2-Seoul to Busan
KTX trains connect Seoul to Busan via Daegu and Daejeon in about 175 min (₩51700). Other trains, such as Saemaeul and Mugunghwa, connect Busan with other major cities as well. They’re cheaper but slower than KTX. Head to the First Class car for a free-of-charge water vending machine.

I'm planning to go Seoul/Busan/Jeju next year. Well, I know you never been to Jeju. Do you have any friends been there? I would like to know the passenger fare? I googled but i couldn;t find any correct answer.

I am hoping using KTX will minimise the travel time between cities. But on the 3rd day, im abit sceptical about the interchange between daejeon-seodeajeon and hoping can catch the 9am ferry from mokpo to jeju.

Is it practical to do this way? I hope you can shed some lights on this.

W'salam zarina,I haven't had the the chance to travel to Jeju yet. but as far as I know of there are budget accommodation around.

Every airport has luggage locker but the rate is pretty expensive. I think mebi you can leave it at the guesthouse in Seoul instead. it's normally free if you plan to stay at the same guesthouse after u return from Jeju.
